Former Vol gets fresh start with NBA trade deadline move

One of the most exciting days in all of sports is the NBA trade deadline. It’s a day so chaotic and unpredictable that some fans honestly find it more entertaining than the actual games being played, which is kind of funny when you think about it.

That being said, a former Tennessee basketball player, Julian Phillips, has been a part of one of the biggest moves during this year's trade deadline so far. ESPN's Shams Charania has reported that the Minnesota Timberwolves have traded Rob Dillingham, Leonard Miller, and four second-round picks to the Chicago Bulls for Ayo Dosunmu and Julian Phillips.
